Greetings fellow gardeners! I've actually posted on here a couple of times already since I joined about 2 weeks ago, and just stumbled onto this area, so I thought I should introduce myself properly. :)
First off, thanks to the owners/operators of this site! It has been an invaluable resource for me in getting a lot of things ironed out with my landscape plans -- from figuring out where to plant some recently purchased additions to my yard, to placement and set-up of my greenhouse (that's a whole other story!), to specific plant information and pictures to help visualize what my now-baby plants will aspire to be one day soon (hopefully).
My gardening experience is probably between the beginner to mid-range. I've spent countless hours in my yards over the years trying to grow things, only to be disappointed in the results, which were more likely due to my lack of educating myself about the plant and soil conditions, sun exposure, etc. After composting I don't know how many hundreds or thousands of dollars in dead plants, I figure it's time for me to get smart (or act it), and try doing things right from the get-go. So far, it's proven pretty successful. I've had two years of returning joy in things I've planted so far, and welcome many more, God willing. So I decided to try my hand with having a greenhouse which was erected just this last weekend. I'm excited to see what good fortune that will bring, as I'm hoping to try some veggies and other plants in there for summer enjoyment.
Not sure what else to put in here, except that I'm happily married (but that could change if I let my plant-love take over the rest of the yard! LOL), have a 10 year old daughter who has an interest in the plant world as well, 3 dogs, a cat, a small fish pond with goldfish and koi (and 3 frogs who've called it home since last August).
Also wanted to say thanks to the couple of folks who -- thus far -- have been so friendly, kind and patient in answering my questions.
